I can't hit curveball.

[ewingandoakley]

I am doing a my player and i have only had the game two days, and I have struggled hitting breaking pitches. Ironically enough, my myplayer is Pedro Cerrano, and if you have seen the movie Major League, you know Pedro can't hit curveballs. I am in the majors after 45 games in the minors and I am 21 games into my major league career. All started off well, and I have an 86 power vs right handed pitching and 74 vs Left handed pitching. I am crushing fastballs and flat changes ups, but to quote my boy Pedro, "Straightball I hit very much, but curveball, bats are scared. I ask for Jobu to come." I need a Jobu to help me hit curveballs, so any advice fellas?

Re: I can't hit curveball.

You are going to get a lot of responses regarding practicing, and they would be correct. The best advice that I have seen is to take a pitcher and begin by deleting all of the pitches off but the curveball or breaking pitch of your choice and go into the batting practice mode. Once you get comfortable with that breaking pitch add back in the pitchers fastball and go back and practice with the two pitches, then so on and so on. I know that this is difficult to replicate with your player because you cannot take them into the batting practice mode, but you could find someone closely rated, or create the same player outside of myplayer mode with the same ratings and go from there.
